Plans have been submitted to convert the Green Tree pub in Little Ouseburn into housing.
The application to Harrogate Borough Council bids to turn the pub into two one-bedroom apartments and one three-bedroom semi-detached home.
Another two three-bedroom semi-detached homes would be built in the rear car park.
The pub, which is on the main B6265 from Green Hammerton to Boroughbridge, closed in late 2019.

In 2017, owners Michael and Barbara Briggs were granted permission to convert the property into housing while retaining part of the downstairs as a micro pub.
However, planning documents state Mr Briggs died in January 2017 and Mrs Briggs struggled to maintain the pub alone.
After three years of trying to market the micro pub, Mrs Briggs decided it was no longer a viable business, and now wants to convert more of the building into homes.
